History Of Hand Tools - Documentary Film
A hand tool is any kind of device that is not a power device– that is, one powered by hand (hands-on labour) rather than by an engine. Some examples of hand tools are garden forks, secateurs, rakes, hammers, , screwdrivers, pliers and knives. Hand tools are generally much less hazardous than power tools.
Hand tools have actually been utilized by people since the stone age when rocks were utilized for reducing and hammering. Bronze tools were sharper and more challenging than those made of stone. In the period since the commercial change, the manufacture of tools has transitioned from being artisan made to being factory made.
A big collection of British hand tools dating from 1700 to 1950 is held by St Albans Museums. Most of the tools were gathered by Raphael Salaman (1906-1993) which created 2 traditional works on the subject The Dictionary of Woodworking Tools and The Dictionary of Leather-working Tools.
